Why is Amethyst February's Birthstone?

The tradition of birthstones dates back centuries, with each month becoming associated with one or more gemstones believed to bring good fortune and positive qualities.

Amethyst became linked with February because it has long been associated with clarity, balance and protection. In ancient times, it was believed to encourage calmness, wisdom and clear thinking, making it a gemstone valued by royalty and spiritual leaders alike.

Today, Amethyst remains the traditional birthstone for February and continues to be cherished as a meaningful symbol of peace, balance and inner strength.
